Just imagine hearings in Congress in 2027 where Elon Musk has to testify on what he told Trump about restricting Starshield access for Ukraine's military
Little by little, the Sgt. Schultz response ("I know nothing") seems to be wearing off. If this report is correct, it would not be a surprise to anyone.

Vladimir Putin appears to have concluded that he cannot win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield. His strategy now is to grind Ukraine down. How scandalous that Donald Trump has become his best weapon bit.ly/4zTGUQH

Where are you @GOP
OUTRAGEOUS! The order reportedly came directly from inside the White House to SLOW DOWN Ukraine’s SpaceX Starshield service, a system its military relies on for battlefield communications and drone operations.
Lives were potentially on the line, while Trump also started purchasing massive amounts of diesel from our enemy Russia.
Where are Republicans on this? Why aren’t they all speaking out? Ukraine is an ally. Russia is an enemy.

Everyone and everything in the Trump administration is for sale. And unsurprisingly, Trump lied when he said he was paying for it.

donors to Trump’s flagship project
Among the revelations — $25M apiece from Apple and Nvidia, and numerous gifts from people + firms with business before Trump

Wow!
Ken Paxton is done!
The Wall Street Journal just published this video reportedly showing Paxton partying in Dubai with fugitives.
This is the end. He should definitely resign.

New video from Trump’s Youngstown, Ohio rally.
Judging from this VIDEO, there can’t be more than a few hundred people here at most.

Will we see similar retraction graphics posted by @NickSortor and @SaraGonzalesTX about this thoroughly debunked claim?
I apologize for sharing the false report about James Talarico receiving mental health treatment. I relied on the reporting available then, but I got it wrong and retract it.
I support Ken Paxton, but the truth matters more than winning on a lie.

If Russia laid down its arms, there would be peace. If Ukraine laid down its arms, there would be no Ukraine.
The fastest way to achieve peace is for Biden to stop pussyfooting around and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to take back its territory. Then Putin will negotiate.

Trump is violating the law. Impeach!
In 2022, the Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill to block any import of Russian oil and gas. The Senate vote was 100-0. The House vote was 413-9. (The 'No' votes included Gaetz FL, Greene GA, Massie KY, Omar MN, Roy TX.)

As a reminder, this is already illegal.
The Senate voted 100-0 to ban it.
We sanction other countries for it.
It’s literally an impeachable offence.
Congress MUST enforce.
Today, at President Trump’s direction, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is immediately issuing a temporary general license to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market.

He's right.
It is sickening that the USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians every day. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. And yet the White House is apparently determined to force American drivers to bankroll Putin’s slaughter. It won’t work and I doubt it will make much difference to the price of fuel.
If we want Russian oil and gas back on the world market then let’s end this war - with a free, sovereign and independent Ukraine.

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦
